Who Will Answer?

Why when I came was there no man, when I called was there none to answer?” Isaiah 50:2
When we were kids, if we were doing something of great importance to us, we would often ignore the call of our mothers to abandon what we were doing and come in for supper. The voice of that loving and compassionate authority meant nothing to us except an interruption of our own will. Even though we knew we needed to eat, and even though we knew that our mothers loved us, and even though we knew there might be consequences for not coming when called, we still didn’t come.
God is our loving and compassionate authority. He is the Good Shepherd that loves and cares for His sheep. He is the tender provider who carries the lambs in his bosom. And yet when He calls, how many answer? That is God’s question today. When He calls us through His word, do we answer? When He convicts us by His Spirit, do we answer? God is asking that question to us today?

Dear Father, Forgive our self-absorption and stir our hearts to hear Your voice. Amen.
